A village band proud to be ranked among the best

The Band was formed in the village of Hepworth, near Holmfirth, in 1882,
making it one of the oldest brass bands in the country. Today, it competes
in the Championship Section, making it one of the best bands in the UK.

It has had a proud contesting tradition since its founding, and in
recent years, has won a string of prestigious prizes. At the same time, it
runs its own concert series every year, supports local charities and other
events, including the famous Hepworth Feast, and appears at other venues
across the U.K. throughout the year.

The Band relies on generous donations from a number of companies, both
national and local, for its continued existence. Since the beginning it
has also relied heavily on subscriptions raised from local people, and this
tradition continues today.
